Embodiment
Below, with reference to while attached, embodiments of the present invention are described particularly.
Fig. 1 is the outside drawing of the video display devices 100 that a kind of execution mode relates to, and Fig. 2 is the block diagram that its schematic configuration is shown.Video display devices 100 possesses liquid crystal panel 1, cylindrical lens 2, video camera 3, light accepting part 4 and controller 10.
The spectators that liquid crystal panel (display part) 1 display is in the ken can as multiple anaglyphs of three-dimensional video-frequency viewing.This liquid crystal panel 1 is the panel of such as 55 inches of sizes, is configured with 11520 (=1280 × 9) individual pixel in the horizontal direction, is configured with 720 pixels in vertical direction.In addition, three sub-pixels, i.e. R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel and B sub-pixel is vertically formed in each pixel.Light is irradiated to liquid crystal panel 1 from the back lighting device (not shown) being arranged at the back side.Each pixel makes the light transmission of the brightness corresponding with the parallax image signal (aftermentioned) supplied from controller 10.
Cylindrical lens (opening control part) 2 exports the multiple anaglyphs in the upper display of liquid crystal panel 1 (display part) along prescribed direction.This cylindrical lens 2 has multiple protuberances that the horizontal direction along liquid crystal panel 1 configures, and its quantity is 1/9 of the horizontal direction pixel count of liquid crystal panel 1.And, in the mode of the corresponding protuberance of every nine pixels configured in the horizontal direction, cylindrical lens 2 is affixed to the surface of liquid crystal panel 1.Light through each pixel exports the direction of specifying to directive property near the summit of protuberance.
The liquid crystal panel 1 of present embodiment can show three-dimensional video-frequency with many parallaxes modes (integral image (integral image) mode) more than three parallaxes or two parallax modes, in addition, also can show common two-dimensional video.
In the following description, illustrate that each protuberance of corresponding liquid crystal panel 1 arranges nine pixels and can adopt the example of many parallaxes mode of nine parallaxes.In many parallaxes mode, show the first anaglyph ~ the 9th anaglyph respectively corresponding with each protuberance nine pixels.First anaglyph ~ the 9th anaglyph refers to from nine viewpoints side by side of the horizontal direction along liquid crystal panel 1 observes subject and the image obtained respectively.Spectators, by via cylindrical lens 2, observe an anaglyph in the first anaglyph ~ the 9th anaglyph with left eye respectively, with another anaglyph of right eye sees, thus three-dimensionally can watch video.According to many parallaxes mode, then the quantity of parallax more increases, and more can expand the ken.The ken refers to from can the region of stereo view video during the forward observation liquid crystal panel 1 of liquid crystal panel 1.
On the other hand, in two parallax modes, four pixels respectively in corresponding with each protuberance nine pixels show right eye anaglyph, show left eye anaglyph in other five pixels.Left eye with and right eye anaglyph refer to the image that the viewpoint in left side from two viewpoints side by side in the horizontal direction and the viewpoint on right side are observed subject respectively and obtained.Spectators by seeing left eye anaglyph, seeing right eye anaglyph with right eye with left eye via cylindrical lens 2 respectively, thus three-dimensionally can watch video.When adopting two parallax modes, the third dimension of the video of display more easily obtains than many parallaxes mode, but the ken narrows compared with many parallaxes mode.
In addition, liquid crystal panel 1 shows identical image in nine pixels corresponding with each protuberance, also can show two dimensional image.
In addition, in the present embodiment, according to the relative position relation between the protuberance of cylindrical lens 2 and the anaglyph of display, namely how anaglyph is shown corresponding with each protuberance nine pixels, thus can the variable control ken.Below, be described for the control of many parallaxes mode to the ken.
Fig. 3 is the figure of the part from top view liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2.The region representation ken of the shade of Fig. 3, when three-dimensionally watching video during liquid crystal panel 1 viewed from the ken.Other regions be produce inverse to look, the region of crosstalk, and be the region being difficult to three-dimensionally watch video.
Fig. 3 shows the relative position relation between liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2, and more particularly show the distance of liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2 or the ken with the side-play amount of the horizontal direction of liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2 and situation about changing.
In fact, the contraposition and pasting accurately of cylindrical lens 2 and liquid crystal panel 1, is thus difficult to physically change the relative position between liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, by making the display position skew of the first anaglyph ~ the 9th anaglyph of each pixel display at liquid crystal panel 1, thus making the relative position relation between liquid crystal panel 1 and cylindrical lens 2 change on the surface, carrying out the adjustment of the ken thus.
Such as, compared with respectively the first anaglyph ~ the 9th anaglyph being presented at the situation ((a) of Fig. 3) of nine pixels corresponding with each protuberance, when making anaglyph entirety offset display to the right ((b) of Fig. 3), the ken moves to the left.On the contrary, when making anaglyph entirety offset display to the left, the ken moves to the right.
In addition, in near central authorities in the horizontal direction, do not make anaglyph offset, when the outside more to liquid crystal panel 1, make anaglyph larger skew be to show laterally ((c) of Fig. 3), the ken moves along the direction close to liquid crystal panel 1.In addition, as long as the pixel between the different anaglyph of the amount of the pixel between the anaglyph of skew and the anaglyph do not offset, skew carries out suitable interpolation according to the pixel of surrounding.In addition, contrary with (c) of Fig. 3, do not make anaglyph offset near central authorities in the horizontal direction, when the outside more to liquid crystal panel 1, make anaglyph to central side larger offset to show, the ken moves along away from the direction of liquid crystal panel 1.
Like this, by offseting the entirety of anaglyph or a part, thus can make the ken relative to liquid crystal panel 1 in left-right direction or fore-and-aft direction move.In figure 3 for the purpose of simplifying the description, a ken is only shown, but in fact, as shown in Figure 4, multiple ken 21 is present in listening area P, and they move linkedly.The ken controls by the controller 10 of aftermentioned Fig. 2.In addition, the listening area beyond the ken 21 is the inverse viewed area 22 being difficult to see good three-dimensional video-frequency because of the inverse generation depending on, crosstalk etc.
Get back to Fig. 1, each inscape of video process apparatus 100 is described.
Video camera 3 is mounted with the regulation elevation angle near the lower central of liquid crystal panel 1, to take the prescribed limit in the front of liquid crystal panel 1.The video photographed is provided to controller 10, for detecting the information relevant to spectators such as the position of spectators, the face of spectators.Video camera 3 also can take any one in dynamic image and still image.
Light accepting part 4 is such as located at the left side of the bottom of liquid crystal panel 1.And light accepting part 4 receives the infrared signal of the remote controller transmission used from spectators.This infrared signal comprises and represents it is display three-dimensional video-frequency or two-dimensional video, adopt any, the signal that whether carries out the control of the ken etc. of many parallaxes mode and two parallax modes when showing three-dimensional video-frequency.
Then, being described in detail to the inscape of controller 10.As shown in Figure 2, controller 10 has tuning decoder 11, anaglyph converter section 12, spectators' test section 13, ken information calculating part 14, Image Adjusting portion 15, spectators' selection portion 16 and storage part 17.Controller 10 is such as mounted as an IC (Integrated Circuit: integrated circuit), and it is configured in the dorsal part of liquid crystal panel 1.Certainly, also by a part for the mode mount controller 10 of software.
Tuning decoder (acceptance division) 11 receives the broadcast wave frequency-selecting that input, decodes by the vision signal of encoding.When being superimposed with the signal of data broadcast of electric program guide (EPG) etc. to broadcast wave, tuning decoder 11 extracts it.Or tuning decoder 11 is not receive by the vision signal of encoding from broadcast wave but from the picture output device of optical disk reproducing apparatus, personal computer etc., and to its decoding.The signal of decoding also referred to as baseband video signal, and is provided to anaglyph converter section 12.In addition, do not receive broadcast wave at video display devices 100, vision signal that special display receives from picture output device, also tuning decoder 11 instead can be arranged only there is decoding function decoder as acceptance division.
The vision signal that tuning decoder 11 receives can be two-dimensional video signal, also can be the three dimensional video signal comprising the image of left eye use and right eye with frame encapsulation (FP), side by side (SBS) or upper and lower (TAB) mode etc.In addition, vision signal also can be the three dimensional video signal of the image comprising more than three parallaxes.
